You guys know how each gun has a different type of it's self but look the same? Such as the Assault rifles, there are different types of assault rifles but they look all the same, which personally i don't like, it would be great if each different type would have a different look. I personally would like it if they could make it happen.

i can tell you dont play eve :)

it saves memory to have all the guns look the same but have a different color scheme

IE

a tech 1 AR is green with siver lining

while a tech 3 AR is red with black lining

different colors but totaly different color schemes and lastly they are totally different guns

Yeh, different colour schemes aren't good enough for easy recognition of guns. They really do need separate models.

It must happen.
BF 3 has over 100 weapons/models and it's not even a MMO...Borderland it's on another level completely.

There's an important point being missed by the people using EVE as an example.

Each vehicle type in EVE has at least one model PER FACTION. Not just 1 model with recolours. AT LEAST 4 DIFFERENT MODELS.

DUST should have the same. Some weapons might not be produced by all factions, some Dropsuit types might be produced by only one faction, but there should still be more variety than the current "all Scouts look the same, all ARs look the same, etc." setup.

I want to believe this, but proof?

as you can see in the current build

Heavy and pistol are amar

smg and mass driver and logistics are minmatar

all factions will get their own flavor when the game is finished

you will have to train for each factions weps/suits/vehicles

just because other games have it dosent mean Dust has too

you need to think like a DEV

the ps3 can only do so much

eve gets away with having all those ships because they share the same body style but have different inner workings/paint jobs

just look at mag...huge battles and mediocre graphics and only a few weps per faction

if you want the game to be uber epic then i think you can deal with having 1-2 body styles for a weapon

Each weapon in the game is from a certain race. ie: AR is Gallente, Sniper is Caldari, SMG is Minmatar etc.

In the full build, each race will have representative weapons in each category. Remember the video showcasing the Caldari AR?

I want this, but I am not optimistic. I am not expecting any new models or new guns at launch besides the Laser rifle and maybe that Caldari Gauss rifle.
I really really really hope I'm wrong.

I find the weapons so far very lacking in creativity, just scifi versions of regular weapons... Greater variety of racial weapons, or greater variety of weapon models within 1 weapon type from the same race could make up for that.

Super useful to be part of a beta in which only few weapons are present.
What if the rest of the weapons are are broken?
What if they feel and look terrible?

Really holding them back until the release in't going to help at all...unless there are no other weapons to test.

Easy way would be to do what Borderlands does.

Each variant of gun would have a different piece of it modeled a different way, but all in all still looking like that class of weapon.
Every variant would be distinct, but all guns with high damage and accuracy would obviously have longer barrels, whereas rapid fire ones would have a fatter receiver or something to that effect.
